Ah. One of my colleagues was a Kappa at CSUN. She has wonderful memories of her experiences as a Kappa there. This has nothing to do with Greek life, but my 8th grade son has been to visit UCSB, UCLA, and Cal. He wasn't overly impressed. Two weeks ago, I dragged him to the CSUN library with me.....he loved the campus!

That makes me happy to hear :) I LOVE this campus. It feels like home.

I have used the libraries at CalArts, College of the Canyons, Master's College and CSUN as resources for my thesis. CSUN's is my favorite!

I feel like my alma mater has been relatively unaffected. Word from my sisters indicates recruitment registration is up, and you pretty much have to put a kidney down as collateral to get campus housing. However, it could just be due to the fact that enrollment has skyrocketed in the past 5 years or so. Hard to tell.

Our recruitment numbers are only down very slightly. I think like ten less for the guys and maybe 20 less for the girls.

Cleveland State's website mention we had a high enrollment this fall semester as the best in the last 10+ years.

It would make sense if the economy is affecting recruitment due to lack of being able to spare money. Ironically enough, the economy has had no effect on the college that I go to; in fact, it's been increasing over the last few years but obviously not due to the financial crisis, haha.

I feel like my school has the exact opposite problem. We have grown by 4,000 students (possibly 5,000, i'm not 100% sure) since i started my freshmen year, and sorority life has increased 10 fold. My plege class, quota was 49 (i believe), last year it was 59, and this year, quota was in INSANE 70 (We took 76...).
My school is very new (Happy 12 years FGCU!) as well as greek life. This is only the 5th year of formal recruitment.
Time will tell of course.
